Marine Le Pen reacted to the ordering of a psychiatric evaluation by the French legal system saying it is becoming a “totalitarian system”. This is her translated statement to broadcaster CNEWS on the treatment she’s received.

They want to prosecute me under an article which was used against sexual workers, psychopaths, perverts and sexual predators

“You know the judicial floor depend on the political powers and they receive orders from them. The political powers gave the order to prosecute me because I denounced Daesh’s atrocities by tweets in 2015.”

“The judges didn’t find any articles to prosecute me, instead they sought an article about sexual infractions to protect minors from sexual crimes! It’s a true scandal (…) That’s why I fell off my chair when I received an ordinance for me to undergo psychiatric evaluation.”

Of course, none of the media care about what she was saying and instead told her that it was a “normal procedure” and even compared her treatment to how Alexandre Benalla was treated (Macron’s ex bodyguard who is under several lawsuits and scrutiny over several crimes, including his beating down of protesters).

“I’m not Alexandre Benalla thank you very much Madam, I was a candidate in two presidential elections, a European deputy and a president of France’s first opposition party!”

“They want to prosecute me under an article which was used against sexual workers, psychopaths, perverts and sexual predators!”

“Every action against the opposition is taken, to try to harm it, to slow it, humiliate it (…) they are marks of an undemocratic system. They are marks of a totalitarian state!”
